>EP6T from Iran's Kish Island (IOTA AS-166) will be January 16-26, with
>an emphasis on 160 meters.  Operator ON4IA says "We hope to make a lot
>of people happy."  Luc says "The setup will be about the same as
>[previous operations] 9U4U and TN2T but we realize that it will be a
>much more difficult path."  If there is space, they will put up
>beverages for short and long path to North America, with a pair of
>endfire phased small delta loop receiving antennas as backup.  The
>transmit antenna is a 26-meter-tall vertical with 50 quarterwave
>radials, and a kilowatt rig.  Luc says they will try to be fair in
>giving all continents a chance.  There will be a dedicated station on
>160 starting at local sunrise and sunset the first two nights to work
>as many Europeans as possible and to check at what time the signals
>peak to farther-away North America.  Contact pilot N5FG with feedback
>on that.  An increasing listen will be given for North America after
>those first two nights.
